I travel frequently and dont always want to wear a coat with a hood. This is the perfect compact, lightweight umbrella to just leave in your suitcase for those times you need it. Easy to put it up and down. Its probably not going to be the most rigid umbrella on a really windy day, and really its only a big enough circumference for one person. The carrying case is a nice addition. I wish the strap would extend a little longer so it would hit at hip level, but its still a nice feature. (You could even double it as a purse and throw a couple credit cards in if you wanted to keep things really simple.) The umbrella also has its own sleeve/bag, separate from the case. Its pretty easy to get the umbrella back into the sleeve. If you want to make the umbrella even more compact and lightweight you could just slip the umbrella into the sleeve and skip the semi rigid carry case with strap. Either way, great lightweight umbrella to have in your bag for those rainy days when you need it.

The umbrella is small enough to live in my purse and was happily surprised how light it was compared to others umbrellas. Love the black!

Ease of use

The umbrella is very nice.

This is a very cute and chic smaller umbrella that’s perfect for emergencies to keep in the car or your bag. It’s not very big but large enough to keep an average size person dry. It will not work for 2 people unless they’re small or children. A gorgeous baby blue color. Good and sturdy. I’ve already used it once in windy rain and it help up well. It folds up so it doesn’t get the floor all wet. You will need to dry it open though or turn it upside down and prop it onto something. It’s nicely packed in a pouch and a zip case. The reality is that they may not be feasible after it’s been used unless it’s dry and collapsed. I’ve converted the zip bag to hold coins/as a change purse. It’s great being able to repurpose. The pouch is also used to keep my sunglasss from being scratched in my purse.

Did not hold up well

Good quality

Now it’s rainy season in my area and I’m glad I bought this nice umbrella. The flashlight keeps me safe to walk in the rainy night. I also like the auto open and close feature and its compact size. I chose the red one and I like it very much. Now I always keep it in my handbag.

This umbrella was surprisingly smaller than I was expecting, its a perfect size to keep in your car or to travel with for emergencies/unexpected rain but would be a pain to use for regular daily use. The umbrella comes in a small storage bag, inside a hard-shell case. Was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the case, very sturdy and will protect your umbrella from damage if stuck in a suitcase or trunk of the car. The umbrella itself is very small, a good size for travel or to keep in a car when needed. It’s fully manual, so you have to expand the umbrella stick (you just pull apart the telescoping handle) and then push open the top of the umbrella. I could see this being a pain to close or put away when it’s all wet and in the rain, it definitely is not a quick open and close. Overall it’s functional and works but dont think I would use this during extended days of rain where am constantly using an umbrella. But I do see it being useful to take on vacation/traveling in the case of rain or to keep in your trunk for emergency use.

This umbrella is perfect for traveling. It comes in a very sturdy carrying case that fits in my purse. Has come in handy several times.
